For anyone who may be interested, here is a new magazine that will help spread the glories and advantages of the Vedic culture.
Hari Om,
Sri Nandanandana dasa
Nitya Kalyan
We have a duty to mankind to share what we have inherited in the form of rich Vedic and allied literature with all the people in the world. This is best done by explaining them in English.
A new international English monthly magazine Nitya Kalyan is to be published from Chennai. This magazine is committed to the spread of knowledge of Indian cultural heritage and ancient wisdom. It is a matter of urgent necessity that the ideas of universal oneness and harmony enshrined in the Vedas and allied literature are explained in English, to ensure the peace and prosperity of the mankind threatened by several negative forces of the modern world. Nitya Kalyan is committed to accomplish this.
This is a no-profit-no-loss effort. The first issue of Nitya Kalyan will appear in the second week of September 2004.
Nitya Kalyan, the international English monthly magazine is dedicated to integrate our happy day-to-day life with well defined purusharthas viz., dharma, artha, kama and moksha, enshrined in our scriptures. Nitya Kalyan stands for eternal happiness and also the means leading to it.
Eternal happiness is not an idle dream that becomes real accidentally to a select few. Vedic philosophy does not believe in any such silly imagination. The foundation for the Vedic philosophy is the concept of dharma that is, natural and value-based expression of self. A serious student of the Vedic philosophy can never miss how result-oriented the Vedic philosophy is. The Vedas belong to everybody, irrespective of caste, creed or color. They are the inheritance of all the living beings. The Vedic concepts may be studied and appreciated by us through the various sastras, puranas, ithihasas and countless other forms of literature.
The study and practice of these values are possible to one and all. Even a villager without much formal education can understand and adopt them. Our ancient systems ensured such percolation of knowledge among all the categories of the people. With the weakening of our ancient systems and adoption of western ways of life, this flow of knowledge has been adversely affected. As a result, the value-based life of our people is changing to mere mammon worship. Our ancient system does not neglect any aspect of life, including wealth and other normal pleasures of life. But they were strictly subordinated to the dharma, so that the individual would not degenerate and become a knave; so that, his kalyan would not be short-lived but would be eternal.
